They got off rhythm like 2 weeks ago and now it's all jacked up.. Probably freaking out because they thought it was a smart idea to delay and shrink a bid for Omicron wave that's now over and augmented ops are coming back with no pilots to do it. Maybe looking for another JV to come in and help us out. Just another day at Delta.

Would someone be able to give the following details. I've been following the thread for a while and I see where NYC is far superior as it was stated earlier vs ATL and DTW. I'm really looking at a comparison of fastest way to a line. Sitting RSV like most other people is not what I enjoy. Atlanta is a super easy commute to home vs NYC, a little harder but doable. Delta is my number 1, and I know things will change as time goes on, but just curious what my options could be for family and QOL if it were available to me now. Thanks!

It's impossible to tell what future results will be. But ATL is way more SR that NYC is.

Nah. I was hired in August and I would be 9 people away from the last line holder on the 73. Now to hold all or even most of your weekends off on the monthly bid is a seriously different story.

Yeah I'd say probably 5 to 6 years to hold every weekend off in atl/dtw/slc 320 or 73n, and then you're getting pretty awful trips. More like 6 to 7 years for msp. There's a reason there are so many senior nb FOs - it's about the only way you'll get quality time with your family. Take that quick upgrade and you won't be holding weekends or holidays off again until your kids are graduating college.

LAX use to be more junior and I'd expect it to swing that way again eventually. Pre-covid it wasn't this junior so this is a new trending change. Then again 220 is new and 73N seemed to grow a lot there very randomly after the lionair announcement. Wouldn't shock me with that cost of living if it becomes like California bases with a lot of commuters and trending junior in the future.

A few people here and there got lines junior to that, but they had training/ vacation/ carry in pairings that allowed that to happen
